My fever went away Friday night, but since my oncologist isn’t working this weekend, the on-call doctor doesn’t feel comfortable letting me out of my jail cell. I am sure I’ll get released tomorrow. The chemo seems to be doing its job. Yay! My wbcs were 32 when i got admitted (high) but plunged after i received my cocktail. Today, it’s at 0.5 even after my Neulasta shot yesterday morning. Along with the drop in wbcs also comes drops in all counts across the board. In just the last few days, I’ve received 4 units of blood and two bags of platelets. I think I might be turning into a benadryl addict because I get excited when I get it. It’s nice to be mentally numb in Lalaland and get some delicious naps in.
I think my chemo cocktail might have been spiked with Serotonin because I feel content and calm. It’s nice and peaceful here. Check out my window view.
Fortunately, no nausea or mouth sores. Just some loose stool which is a small price to pay for chemo.
The biggest bummer is that I missed my mom’s and Marshawn’s bday again on 6/11 and 6/14. We took my mom out on Monday for an early bday dinner. Today, Van is going to take our little guy to a yorkie meetup in SF. He deserves a day to himself because he always brings joy to everyone. It’s a Luau themed Pawty – cute eh?
So far so good.

Hi Michelle,
Happy birthday to your Mom and Marshawn! Your little pup sure takes after you and your mom, being so cute and loving. I hope you get to cuddle with him again soon. Are we going to see some pictures of him in a grass skirt?
